Sing for Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens is coming to the Burlington Mall, and assuming you are not creepy and that you are between the ages of 10 to 18, she'd like you to sing for her.
The "High School Musical" actress -- who stars in the upcoming teen rock flick "Bandslam" -- will be in town Aug. 1 to promote the movie and to hear a live performance by two local finalists who win MAGIC 106.7's "Bandslam" talent competition.
Hudgens will chose one of the two acts and have an up-close-and-personal meet-and-greet with them. You can put yourself in the running by submitting a short audio track to bandslam@magic1067.com. Entries must be e-mailed by 5 p.m. on July 24. No word on whether Vanessa's boyfriend Zac Efron will be joining her at the mall, but on behalf of your children, our fingers are crossed.
(Hudges is pictured above with "Bandslam" co-star Gaelan Connell.)
